First off, that would that make the past 100 chapters meaningless. If all Miyata had to do to fight Ippo was beat RBJ, why waste our time with the "Goodbye Ippo", "Goodbye Miyata" scenes?

Secondly, I'm sick and tired of hearing about how weak Miyata is because he's fighting in a weight class he doesn't belong in. I won't be able to enjoy the beatdown Ippo gives him because I'll know he's fighting against a gimped Miyata. Perhaps Miyata can move up to Aoki's class. Imae wouldn't stand a chance.

Thirdly, I find Miyata's boxing boring. A few rounds of him beating his opponent beautifully, a few rounds of him being beaten on, one counter punch, the end. Either that or he just dominates all the way through. Also his stubborn, stand-offish personality is exceedingly unattractive to me. I don't want to see him taking up more space in HnI with the long lead-up to a fight with Ippo, then a long fight, then the post fight... If that happens, I really will stop reading this manga.

Finally, it's about time Ippo got a new rival. We haven't been able to take any of his opponents seriously since the Sawamura fight way back in volume 50-something. If not against RBJ, I want to see Ippo take on somebody new and exciting and pump some new blood into the series.

That's why i told that before, the ultimate opponent IS Martinez. Ippo must defeat RBJ or Miyata to enter to the world stage. So, it's simple: Ippo must face Miyata for Plot's Sake, so, to me, Miyata will defeat RBJ and then comes Ippo.

I don't know.
After reading Ch844(yeah it's already out) I wonder if Miyata will stay within the same weight class.
I believe that both Miyata and Ippo will want to fight each other regardless of title but they also want to fight at best condition.
Miyata simply cannot fight at his best condition within the feather weight limit and is painfully obvious that Miyata if wanting to go further up the world champion league will have to decide to step up a weight class.

The best scenario for Miyata if he wins is to relinquish his OPBF feather weight champion title and challenge the OPBF junior light weight champion.If it's a challenge from another OPBF champ then I do not think the OPBF junior light weight champion can refuse.
Ippo will then be the first in line to challenge for OPBF feather weight champion title fighting against an unknow opponent.

this is all speculation. the manga is built on Miyata vs Ippo round 3. they will fight. it could be that they both go for the feather weight but, end up going for different belts. Ippo for the WBC which i think Martinez has and Miyata for the other i think the WBA???(not sure). then they could have a unification match. to settle it once and for all.

the manga could even do what TV shows do. when the manga has to finish they could do time skip and have it so that one of them is winning the world title just now and the other has already won it. then they finally have there destined match.

i'll admit that at one point the manga may have been built on a miyata vs ippo showdown, but we are 840+ chapters, 85+ volumes and 20+ years down the road, that is a simplistic way of looking at the goals of a manga that could easily run just as many more years.

Randy Boy better get his ass up. Man i will be sad if he got knocked out from just that. I was hoping the manga would go in a different direction and miyata loses. So i hope randy boy will get up but im doubting it since randy boy put his full strength into that punch and got countered

it was good to see that Myata learned something from his father. kenw it coming and it deliverd. it would be cool if he did break RBJ's jaw but the punch did't seem it landed that way. it was a good trap. RBJ never saw it coming. i guess that was the point. hopeflly he does not get up.

it is going to be a chapter for the 10 count and then depending on the result it may take more. he could be out cold?

if he does win. Ippo will be the no.1 contender. they could fight but, i think that Myata will relinquish and move onto the world. it has been said that only after fighting each other they move onto the world but, after this fight Myata could be ready. after this fight he could do it now. if it is the case that they will not fight.

IMO the reason they did't fight was cause Myata wanted revenge for happend to his dad. they could fight after he had the RBJ fight. but from the injries that he has now Ippo would end up waiting a long time. and i think Coach wants to move onto the OPBF if not the world.

it could be that they fight to decide who will battle with Martinez. NO.1 contendership. but taht would be along way away. sendo also wants it.
